Fate's Fools

Deva Rainsong was born with dragon fire in her veins, an ursa’s generous heart, a turul’s skill with song, and the carnal appetites of a nymph. What she wasn’t born with was a soul. It’s all she ever wanted, but the one thing she can never have.

When Fate was handing out those precious things, it must have oveHow do you find your soul mate if you’re born without a soul?

Deva Rainsong was born with dragon fire in her veins, an ursa’s generous heart, a turul’s skill with song, and the carnal appetites of a nymph. What she wasn’t born with was a soul. It’s all she ever wanted, but the one thing she can never have.

When Fate was handing out those precious things, it must have overlooked her, and a soul is required to unlock the dormant elemental powers within her. Not to mention the only thing that will ever give her a chance of finding the thing she truly desires: a soul mate.

Not only has Fate forgotten her, it seems dead set on destroying the only part of her life that gives her purpose. An ancient bloodline of mixed-breed humans linked to Deva is being hunted by a pack of rogue fate hounds, and her link to the bloodline means she’s the only one who can save them.

She doesn’t count on her quest taking her straight into the arms of a dragon, and she definitely isn’t prepared for the futile desire he incites within her, or the frustrating passion his ursa friend draws out of her. She shouldn’t want the pair so much, but when they both fall victim to the hounds, it may take nothing less than her love to save them.

Warning: This series is a spinoff of Ophelia Bell's epically sexy "Immortal Dragons" series. It is a fast-burn HOT and steamy RH odyssey, with some M/M content, not meant for the faint of heart (or libido)... #whychoose!...more

I constantly felt like I was missing some important information. The author would frequently say things such as “Ever since the Spring Equinox three weeks ago” without ever explaining what actually happened on the equinox. The author definitely assumes that, if you’re reading this book, you read the other books, and the author doesn’t bother recapping (at least in what I read) what has happened in this world so far.

I was looking forward to this one. I loved the cover, and the premise sounded super interesting. I was already somewhat disappointed because of the confusion I mentioned before, but then the human MC started having sexual contact with a dragon (a fully shifted dragon shifter), and it was time for me to bail. All the nope. I was already not looking forward to that scene because it seemed like it was going to be sex for utility to gain power (which is a bit of a trope in books about magic users). I’m really not a fan of that trope because I think those scenes often lack real consent (making sex an issue of life or death is the epitome of coercing someone), and the other human in the scene definitely wouldn’t have agreed to have sex with the MC if lives hadn’t been at stake.

I almost always stick to Kindle Unlimited books, and I’m really pretty bummed that I actually bought this book....more

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The only thing that prevented me from leaving a 5 star review for Fate's Fool is that I was left with a lack of information from not reading the author's previous series "Immortal Dragons", which provided the origins for Deva's story. The plot is definitely intriguing and different from anything I have read before, which kept me turning each page to find out what was going to happen next.

However, if you are like me and read this book without reading the previous series, please be aware that it is a slow build of information regarding the setting for Ophelia Bell's series and it could quite possibly confuse you too much to continue reading...more

Deva knows that the bloodline she sent a message to about not revealing the higher races knows that they are in trouble she has tried to ask for help from all her parents. Not getting through to them she runs away from the safety of the Sanctuary to try to save them and discover what and why they are being attacked.

Not getting through to them she runs away from the safety of the Sanctuary to try to save them and discover what and why they are being attacked. During this period she discovers three men who have fallen for her but she tried to keep them at arms length because of Ozzie and LLyr who rejected her love and mating song and she also believes she has no soul with which to bond with these men.

Ozzie has secrets and Llyr who has been sent to find her and protect her wants to know, , the dragon wants to bond with her and his lover feels jealous and afraid he will lose him while denying his own draw to Deva then there is Bhodi who is also drawn but doesn't want to step on any toes and follow through with his feeling..

Yes there is so much more to this story but you must find out for yourself because I will not reveal it. Just know that I was blown away and hoping that somehow Deva finds a soul and I am anxious for more of Deva's story in the next book in this series.

Should I be upset that all of a sudden Ms. Bell is ending her books with cliffhangers, because that’s exactly what’s happening! We are only getting small portions of Deva’s story before the book ends and we are left with a million questions and unfortunately no answers. I truly dislike that.

As far as this portion of Deva’s life after she escaped from home is more confusing than ever. I have no idea what her true purpose is, although after her night with Rohan and her new powers being displayed I think I might now where this is headed and what her purpose and that of her men are. Having no soul sucks but knowing Ozzie’s big secret and reading what Rohan shared with her, I can only assume that she is indeed connected to Rohan, Ozzie, Llyr, Keagan and Bodhi. She hasn’t realized yet how all these men can help her become whole because, like Ozzie, Deva is extremely stubborn and hardheaded.

The hounds, what the hell is up with the hounds? Every time I thought I had those suckers figured out, they would act all strange and stray from what my thoughts were. The hounds were super confusing at every turn in this book. After reading that fucked up ending, I hope that my thoughts and assumptions prove to be wrong because if what I’m thinking is right, then ‘Fate’ is totally fucked up!

Overall, I did enjoy the book, not as much as the other books that lead to this new spin-off series, especially because of the damn cliffhangers. Deva is certainly a complicated character and I honestly hope we get some answers soon.

Opehlia Bell is a new author to me although I have listened to the narrators Ava Lucas and JF Harding before. Paranormal is not a genre I often read or listen to. Fate’s Fool was certainly steamy, hot and there is some M/M. Even though I am not familiar with the series that this is a spin off from, I was able to listen to the story without an issue. The narrators enhanced my enjoyment and I found them easy to listen too.

Book 1 of Fate’s Fools by Ophelia Bell Deva is a mysterious being that has no soul but a massive heart that she wants to give to other people but Deva feels lost especially when she finds out the Bloodline have been attacked and there soul is leaking. A lot happens and new characters are introduced which does get problematic to keeping track. New band mates make up Fates Fools and then becomes very intense and very intimate between all characters.

A lot happens and new characters are introduced which does get problematic to keeping track. New band mates make up Fates Fools and then becomes very intense and very intimate between all characters. I’ve struggled a lot with this book I did feel like I was being stringed along for awhile but I also struggled with the intense prolonged courting between Deva and her group of lovers, nothing developed permanently till like 90% of the book. I was worried this book would stalemate but OMG to kept me hook whole way through and I have given 5 ⭐️ even though I absolutely hate cliffhangers.

Just finished the audiobook and it was even better then the ebook. The narrators were fantastic but it brought the book and characters to life so much. Really looking forward to other fates fools being made into audiobook ...more

Deva Rainsong is searching for herself and trying to help the bloodline that the evil Mari created! Fate hounds are attacking the bloodline and draining the souls they attack! She's trying to find the how and reason for it with the help of 5 men. They are each attached to her but she refuses to believe that she can have them. This is a great well written book! The story continues and I can't wait for the next installment!!

This book held my attention from the very first chapter and didn’t let me go until the cliff hanger ending! The characters are really well developed and you can tell straight away that the author has a strong connection with each one. I love this style of storytelling. It’s so very inclusive for the reader.Our leading lady, Deva is a mixture of the four higher races. Those being: Ursa, Dragon, Satyr and Turul. She also has healthy amount of human thrown in for good measure! She is blessed with the lush curves and beautiful qualities that come with such a powerful mixture of DNA. One might even say she’s a goddess! Her one drawback, NO SOUL! How does one find one’s soulmate without it?Let’s look at our heroes. Our five leading men bring the qualities from each of the DNA mix that make up our girl. Keagan is Ursa, a literal bear of a man who has fallen so quickly under Deva’s spell that he’s quite resentful. Add that he’s already in a relationship with the dragon, Rohan and he’s having some difficulties reconciling heart and head.Rohan, our (gold) dragon. He’s wilful and playful and so sexually charged that you can feel his desire on every page and with every word he utters. He’s s sexual dynamo! He’s also fallen hard for Deva and mates with her by the end of this first book.Llyr, the Satyr. He shares a torrid if brief past with Deva and has been tasked by her parents with her protection. Next we have Ozzie the Turul. He’s the object of Deva’s (seemingly) true desire, but he’s keeping a secret that could blow up in his face!Finally, Bodhi – he’s human and of the bloodline… A tattooed Adonis with a healthy sense of adventure. He has also fallen for our beautiful heroine Deva.Without giving too much of the plot away, I’ll just say that if you love the supernatural and characters that really are larger than life and pull your heartstrings, then you should give this read.There’s a hefty amount of playfulness and innuendo that is thrown in with the actual steamy hotness. Be aware that there are liberal amounts of MM action in this book and I’m guessing the whole series. This book is also RH so expect a fair dose of multiples at playtime. The author is brilliantly descriptive and you can fully sense the emotions packed in to these scenes and practically smell the sexual energy lifting off the pages. Definitely has that WOW factor! It’s an 18+ read.I loved it! I’m off to read book two.Well done Ms Bell – I gave it five stars!...more

I love this whole series. Loved the characters, the story, the yummy scenes and Nikhil.

I am very much enjoying reading the adventures of Deva. She is a very intriguing character and searching for meaning that the others take for granted. It is a well written story and will appeal to fans of reverse harems and paranormal romances. The author knows how to heat up a story and takes risks others might not take.

The perfect beginning to a brand new series!Deva is a chimera who was created without a soul. As she goes “soul searching “, she not only finds a group of men who are meant to be hers but a group of fate hounds who seem to be connected to her. As the story unfolds, she learns more about herself, her men, the hounds and how they are all intertwined. I was invested from the first page.

Wow. This book leaves you on a cliff hanger and what a ride it is. I need the next book NOW.I loved this story. It has a complex plot arc and is so engaging. I was engrossed from the 1st chapter.

I’m hooked! I won fate’s fools and fool’s folly in a competition and I have never been so glad for my ability to google rude plant pics! The world building is a little confusing, I felt a little like I’ve come in in the middle of a series, but the back story is explained as you go. Off to read the next one!

I want expecting to enjoy this book the way that I did but boy was it hard to stop reading! And so much is happening with so many point of views and emotions going on. This is going to be a hella of a series!

Deva: I knew Ophelia had big plans for her but these plans were not what I expected. I loved that she was independent and willing to help those of the blood. But the girl is still quite naive and a little stubborn, I cannot wait to see howA very action packed new series!

Deva: I knew Ophelia had big plans for her but these plans were not what I expected. I loved that she was independent and willing to help those of the blood. But the girl is still quite naive and a little stubborn, I cannot wait to see how she'll be when she accepts all five men.

Rohan: I loved him! He was literally the only one who was laid back and funny as heck. He was also the only one willing to share and be open. I cannot wait how it'll go with the rest when they accept it too.

Keagan: the man was just down right bitter and it made me dislike him but I know he will redeem himself eventually.

Bodhi: don't know much about him but would love to hear more and see how he'll change with Deva and the others.

Llyr: I think he'll be the adult here lol. Looking forward to him setting everyone straight.

Ozzie: I used to have sympathy for him! I used to want him to have a happy ending, but now I don't like the brooding bitterness he carries. Aside from the petulant child temper I still want to see how this goes.

So one thing I can clarify is if you aren't into the continuous cliffhanger series. Or have zero patience this is not the book for you! It will be hard to wait but I want to see this one through. And if you are wondering how different this is from Ophelia's usual work, it just has more action the steaminess is still there.

I HATE CLIFFHANGERS! Ok now that I have that out of my system. This is an extraordinarily well written and thought out book. I found myself reading it straight through in one sitting. Only to get to the end and have to wait for the next book. This is the first book in the new series find Ophelia. This one is that Deva Rainsong.

If you read the last series of books you’ll know she is the daughter born and the end of the story and she is literally one year old. But was forced to grow up in the span of the day. Even though she is young she has the wisdom of the ages. From all the what is infused in her Dream Hair Creations. In this book she is trying to find out what is happening to the bloodline. The one that she’s connected to and can see that something is doing something to their souls. That is where she Mets Bohdi at the hospital and then Ronon, Straus, and his friends. And when she goes home with Ro that is were she finds Ozzie and Lyhr again. And things get so turned around as she fights off what she thinks are Fate’s hounds. Only to find out more from Sophie. I need book two now. Need to know if Ozzie come clean and they all get off their butts and helps Deva find her soul.

Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book, please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it when you do; they value your opinions too...more

Though she looks in her mid-20's she is really only a year old. As a chimera she has the parentage of dragon, nymphae, ursa, turul but because she was made in a lab to be the vessel of the Lamia she feels empty without a soul. On top of that she can sense what her powers should be but she just can't figure out a way to activate most of them. Her frustration is endless as she is unable to help those bloodline who have been bitten by Fate's Hounds but she is determined to help.

This is a reverse harem that will curl your toes and put a smile on your face.

I have to say, I was expecting good things from Ophelia. I was not disappointed. In classic Ophelia Bell style, there were twists and turns and plenty of steamy goodness to go around. I was turned on, heartbroken, and yelling at the characters to quit being so dang stubborn in equal measure — some of them in tandem. I promised myself, as always, that I would only read a few chapters at a time, but dang it all, it’s another page-turner, and I found myself hooked from word one.The world Miss BellI have to say, I was expecting good things from Ophelia.

Sure, it’s the world we all live in, but its so much more than just that.Each of her characters has a story to tell, they’ve all got their own histories, their own problems, their own family histories. And they’re all more than happy to deal with that — and their love for Deva — in their own unique ways. And they don’t always work well together.There is more to come for Deva and her men, and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!...more

There is jealousy and insecurities mentioned between some of the characters which makes it all the more real. There are steamy scenes, ofcourse and I look forward to more. The harem men are, or will be, perfect once they come to terms with their fate, along with Deva's acceptance. She is also insecure and leery of building the harems relationships, but with good cause. Be aware, the ending does leave you with a great desire to keep going! Lol. Luckily, the next book is out soon.

She sets out on a mission to find out why those of the bloodline are dying and along the way finds rogue Fate Hounds and five men (both known to her previously and unknown) whom she has to figure out. Why are these Hounds and men attracted to her and what does it all mean to the bloodline? As usual this author creates an incredibly believable world and does not disappoint in the least with the HOT and steamy multi partner love scenes. This is reverse harem at its finest.

I've never really wanted to read the books that this series is derived from, but I might at some point.

I really like Deva. I want her happy. I hope the guys other than Rohan and Bodhi get their acts together. Ozzie especially has a lot of explaining to do. Llyr is almost as bad and Keagan needs to be honest with himself.

New fans/readers are going to love this feature.

Gosh, I just loved this book. This book is a spin off from a previous series. You don't need to read the previous series to enjoy this book. However, if you do, the story is so much more rich and colorful. I just love the characters and the world they live in is so fantastic and vivid. If you like a paranormal story where there are dragons, bears and other shifter types, than this is the story for you!

Oh my! This is the start to another great series by Ophelia Bell that you won’t want to miss reading! It’s a wonderful spin-off from the Immortal Dragons Series that will keep you spellbound to find out what’s going to happen.

What to do when Fate is pissed at the world? Fight. This is the story of one young woman who is not only human but four parts Other. Created as a tool, Deva has the knowledge of millennia of Others. As she moves about in search of her purpose, she collects a group of males who would gladly give up their souls for her. I enjoyed reading the beginnings of her tale. Set in present day California we are given a new and modern take of the battle of the gods and how much they actually controlEnticing:

Fate is a file bitch especially using fate hounds 2 do its dirty work. I don't quite understand why fate is trying 2 fill the people from the bloodline unless it's cause of the god that took over. Ozzie is trying 2 make himself believe that the other guys can do anything better than him and get her over him or distracted enough 2 possibly 4get him. She has a rt 2 judge things 4 herself and make her own decisions and her family and anyone in her life needs 2 respect her wishes.
